Forecasts

Ultimate Optimist (4/6), Dinny Lacey (4/1), Grange Island (11/2), Somptueux (15/2), Russian Diamond (14/1), Down The Highway (25/1), Visioman (28/1), Daicheadacuig (50/1)

ULTIMATE OPTIMIST is firmly one to be positive about in hunters and can make it 3-3 in this sphere. Somptueux and Russian Diamond are interesting alternatives.
